Zona muerta

Sergeant Washington Poe is in court, fighting eviction from his beloved and isolated farmhouse, when he is summoned to a street brothel in Carlisle, where a man has been bludgeoned to death with a baseball bat. Everything indicates that it is a simple murder by a pimp, but his assistance was requested personally, by the type of people who prefer to remain in the shadows. As Poe and his inseparable partner Tilly Bradshaw delve deeper into the case, they are faced with seemingly unanswered questions: despite being vetted for a high-profile job, why isn't there a background check on the victim? ? Why was a small decoration left at the crime scene and why did someone from the investigation team steal it? And what's the connection to a perfectly executed bank robbery three years earlier, a robbery in which absolutely nothing was taken?
